Starting off with a restrained aroma, fine notes of toffee, fresh fig and cereal are added with a little air. Notes of malt and spices can be found on the palate, with an increasingly nutty flavour on the medium-long finish.

Product Description
After years of searching for the purest natural water in Scotland we discovered the Ballantruan Spring. For thousands of years this water has been flowing through the mountainside near Tomintoul. The Tomintoul Single Malt Whisky is a testament to our Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, whose family has been making Whisky in the Speyside Glenlivet region for four generations. Inspired by tradition, he has produced a Single Malt of unique quality, which is invitingly smooth and mellow. COLOUR: Amber Gold NOSE: Soft fruit to the fore. Hints of hazelnut and vanilla PALATE: Hallmark lightness embraces a capacious flavour of nutty malted barley that extends to an inkling of spice and complex oak traits FINISH: Velvety, at first, morphing into a picy finale. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote
Herbal and toffee nose. Palate is creamy and restrained yet palate reveals layers of caramel, with a gentle touch of elegant florals and honey. Clean, fresh finish with a delightful mix of sweetness and greenness.

Fruity with notes of mandarin, nectarine, and peppermint. A sweet, chewy palate with hints of chocolate.
A delightful abundance of apples layered with vanilla and spice. A soft richness of malt appears on a creamy textured palate. The finish is bright and zesty, with lingering notes of honey, pear, and a touch of leather.
Richly aromatic with vanilla, nuts and hints of menthol. Creamy and integrated with a woody balance of lemon, spice and candy notes on the lingering finish.
Delicate caramel with red berries and cucumber freshness. Green apples and sweet pear balanced lead on to a creamy hazelnut and malt finish.
Ripe lemons, green apple and tinned fruit on the nose with more dried fruit, vanilla and toffee sweetness on palate. Well-balanced with great finesse.
Think of freshly buttered toasted brioche with toffee sauce and caramel … It is creamy on the palate with a great array of flavours and nice long finish balanced by sour elements. A very well made and complex whisky.
A nose that gives pure toffee heaven with vanilla and soft sugars, poached pears and honey. A smooth palate is full of chopped walnuts, candied lemon rind and honey with a hint of fennel seed. A medium light sweet finish.
Dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of lemon peel emerge on the nose with those profiles deepening upon tasting. A small amount of char smoke, coconut, and mint materialize … The finish is orange zesty and spice filled.
It's a fragrant whisky too with a firm malty foundation, fruit gum drops and caramel. Subtle notes of almond and anise helped keep my interest, as did its soft, subtle wood spice finish. Very easy to drink too!
Mashed banana on the nose, followed by some light citrus. On the palate things soften out a little with pine nuts and a crunch of honeycomb, leading in to a long and lingering finish.
Palate entry is honey sweet and amiable, then at midpalate the taste profile accelerates into a semi-rich honey, maple-like flavor that's approachable and easy. … A solid introductory, medium-bodied, flowery/fruity Speyside malt.
